Misdemeanors

California Misdemeanor Offense Attorney

The Law Offices of Marcus A. Torigian in Fresno County, California, I represent individuals who have been charged with misdemeanor crimes and violations. A misdemeanor is a crime punishable by a fine or less than one year in jail. A misdemeanor charge of assault may stem from something as simple as a barroom fight, or being drunk and disorderly in a public place.

While a misdemeanor is not as serious as a felony in terms of penalties, a misdemeanor conviction will still appear on your criminal record. An experienced criminal defense lawyer can help defend your rights in misdemeanor cases and have work to keep your record clean.

I represent clients throughout California’s central valley, including Fresno, Kings, Madera, and Tulare counties, as well as the cities of Clovis, Selma, Visalia, Dinuba, Reedley, Porterville, Kingsburg, Sanger, Coalinga, Avenal, Hanford, and Lemoore, who have been charged with any type of misdemeanor, including the following:

• Assault
• Battery
• Disorderly Conduct
• Drunk Driving / DUI
• Marijuana Possession (Small Quantities)
• Petty Theft
• Probation Violation
• Public Intoxication / Under the Influence
• Resisting Arrest
• Robbery
• Trespassing

Though most first time offenders who are convicted with a misdemeanor receive probation, this is not the case if you have been convicted of any previous offenses – felonies or misdemeanors. If you have been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony in the past, it is quite likely that an additional conviction will lead to jail time. That is why your choice of a lawyer is critical to maintaining your freedom. I am a former district attorney familiar and experienced with both sides of misdemeanors – the prosecution and defense. I am an aggressive advocate of my clients’ rights, and will fight hard for a successful outcome in your case.

If you have been charged with a misdemeanor, it is important to speak with an experienced criminal attorney. Contact the Law Offices of Marcus A. Torigian today.
